Thanks, good catch.
I think you can simplify the system.h patch a bit, as there's no need
for 'err' in this new code. Also, the "try an open a fifo" should be
"try to open a fifo" or "try and open a fifo". Something like the
attached patch, perhaps?
Pushed with that simplification, and added a NEWS entry.
thanks for the review!
